Lincoln

1988

Alternative Pop/Rock

Released in 1988, the Brooklyn duo's second album was as captivating and original as their quirky debut, doubling down on their art-pop hooks and off-beat humor with instant classics like "Ana Ng" and "Where Your Eyes Don't Go."

Cornbread

1965

Hard Bop

Another installment in Blue Note's stellar Tone Poet vinyl reissue series, Cornbread is one of Lee Morgan's great records. Not as funky as some of his sessions from the mid and late '60s, Cornbread is instead revels in living on the swinging edge. Working with pianist Herbie Hancock and saxophonists Jackie McLean and Hank Mobley, Morgan embraces the modernist hard bop of the mid-'60s and gives it a soulful grit--a subtle disctintion that makes it one of the best jazz Blue Note LPs of the '60s.
